ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, my journey has been shaped by my lifelong fascination with the world of art and the creative process. Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, I was captivated by the vibrant colors and eclectic designs on display in the bustling marketplaces. My early exposure to these visually stunning environments sparked a deep appreciation for the power of color and design to evoke emotion and imagination.
Through my art, I seek to explore the relationship between color and our innermost emotions. Colors have a unique ability to reflect our true feelings and experiences, and my work is an attempt to capture and communicate these complex emotional states. By using abstract line markings, textures, and other techniques, I strive to create a visual language that transcends the limitations of mere words. My art is a reflection of my own personal experiences and emotions, but I believe that it has the power to resonate with others on a deeply personal level. By sharing my innermost moments through my art, I hope to create a sense of connection and understanding between myself and my viewers.
In short, my work is an ongoing exploration of the infinite possibilities of color and the human experience. Through my art, I seek to capture the essence of what it means to be human and to express the emotions that are often difficult to put into words.
